In the wake of the recent Tamil Nadu assembly elections, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Vijay, has emerged as a significant player by securing 108 seats out of 234. However, the party has fallen short of the 118 seats needed for a majority. In an effort to form a government, TVK reached out to the Congress party, which won five seats, for support, emphasizing a commitment to a secular governance model. Congress's General Secretary KC Venugopal highlighted the party's stance against allowing any 'communal forces' to influence the Tamil Nadu government. Meanwhile, the AIADMK has firmly ruled out any support for TVK, with Deputy Coordinator K.P. Munusamy stating, “Whatever the situation is, AIADMK will not support TVK.” The VCK, which secured two seats, is yet to decide on its position regarding support for TVK. As the political situation evolves, sources indicate that the planned oath-taking ceremony for Vijay may not occur as scheduled due to the Governor's reservations about the TVK's seat count. The DMK, which won 59 seats, is closely observing these developments as potential alliances take shape.
